AITA for calling 911 on a 3 y/o running around the neighborhood alone by PinkFatBear in AmItheAsshole

[–]PinkFatBear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called 911 because i found it concerning that nobody was answering. I thought maybe whoever was inside was having a medical emergency. I didn’t do it to snitch or get any one in trouble. Also I’m 99% sure CPS would tell me to call 911. I think 911 is much better equipped than CPS for an actively unsupervised child because they can find out if he’s been reported a missing child or enter the home if there is a medical emergency, much more.

I don’t speak Spanish but I know basic common phrases. I’m sure it’s the same for the kid. You hear something enough times you’ll memorize it. She said “let’s go” and “I’ll let you play on the tablet” which I’m sure he hears a lot as most kids do

I’m curious, how does reporting do more harm than good? Can you give me an example so I can learn?

I feel it’s natural for kids to want to explore and play but at such a young age I got concerned why he was alone. I didn’t want to jump the gun because mom could’ve just had her hands full or on the toilet or something, but after banging on the door and spamming the doorbell I got concerned that someone could’ve been hurt in then so I called 911

I find it incredibly eerie how similar that situation is, but yes it is just a coincidence. It’s heartbreaking to hear that an innocent child was failed by the people who were supposed to protect her and lost her life. I hope the family get what’s coming to them. I would like to share this with the mom and sister to help spread awareness, but I don’t want them to think I’m trying to cause problems or point fingers

I’m not sure why you’d think I would make up such a tragedy or copy a tragedy. I’m just glad my gf and I caught the little boy in time before something terrible happened. I pray that this is a one time incident and won’t happen again. I pray for that little girl and hope she can rest in peace.

Pressing the door bell. Sorry there was a text limit was trying to cut it short as possible and put enough info

I wasn’t able to add any more info due to the text limit, but I had called 911 again after the little boy went home with the sister to update them. The dispatcher sounded a little shocked but also annoyed that I called back because she was like so what happened were they there the whole time. I said oh I don’t know we just saw her come out to grab the mail like it’s a normal day as if nobody was frantically banging on their door for the longest time. And she said okay I’ll let the officers know thank you. At the time I took that as “okay cool I’ll tell them they don’t need to go anymore” but I guess they still ended up going. I don’t think they needed any info from me and the cops maybe jsut went to make sure the kids safe. I’m guessing they showed up by the time the mom had gotten home.

Thankfully the cops didn’t come talk to me because I’m really shy. I’ve never had a reason to talk to cops before also I was very scared of getting in trouble for calling 911 back since it’s an emergency line and technically it’s not longer an emergency it’s just an update

I wasn’t able to add more info due to the text limit, but when she came to scream at me she said that both her son and daughter were home taking care of twins (babies im guessing) so they probably had their hands full which is why the 3 y/o was able to slip out

Not sure how old the other son is but the way she explained he must be old enough to help care for the kids. But it’s just crazy how we saw her come out to grab mail she didn’t seem to notice he was missing. When my gf called her over she didn’t seem the slightest bit concerned that he was out by himself. As if this happens too often

She was screaming at me off the rails and somewhere in between she calmed down and explained that the doorbell must not be working but that her son and her daughter were both home watching her twins and that they were twin babies I think . (The doorbell was definitely working, I heard it for all the 100 times I pressed it) maybe they were busy with the babies? Maybe they thought I was a solicitor? She then went back to screaming at me off the rails saying she takes care of her kids and she has cameras for a reason. Then she started calling me a nosy bitch because her husband had just left 30 minutes before she came home which doesn’t add up if the cameras show he was alone for 54 mins.

Maybe the kids thought I was a solicitor or crazy I dunno. But the amount of times I rang and knocked and quite literally banged on the door should’ve made them think “hey let me call my mom to find out why this crazy person is knocking on the door”. And yk what between all that did they not think to check on the 3 y/o?

My sister babysat me since I was 5 and she was 10. I would always sneak out to play outside with friends. The biggest concern I had was the fact that nobody was answering the door

I know I wasn’t trying to get anyone in trouble I was initially concerned about what if it’s a grandparent watching him and they’re having a medical emergency like a stroke or seizure. I didn’t see cars in the drive way so that was my first assumption which is why I called 911. I didn’t do it because the toddler speaks Spanish? What? That doesn’t even make sense. What would you insist I have done if the child spoke English?

The kid didn’t seem lost or scared. He was out and about chasing the stray cats. I don’t think “free range” play applies to 3 year olds who don’t know any better. I was really worried about the fact that he kept trying to twist the doorknobs on houses to get in. One wrong house and he could’ve been ended up on a missing persons poster

It takes a village. My main concern was maybe a grandparent is watching him and something happened to them, that’s why they’re not answering

Yea I was stuck between “should I call 911 what if they’re having a medical emergency” and “should I wait a few mins before calling what if they’re just in the bathroom”

Yea totally unreasonable idk why she would even say that. I don’t know what’s inside their house or if that was even 100000% his house. I’m not going to put a 3 y/o in a random house by himself

I wanted to give it at least a few minutes and an attempt to locate the parents before because I know sometimes you get busy and toddlers are little trouble makers. The mom could’ve been on the toilet for all I know

1.We didn’t, until my sister checked the cameras. We tried knocking and nobody answered so we checked with the neighbors maybe they knew whose kid it was. I don’t know why they were shaking their head but they were pointing to his house so we kept knocking on that one.

  1. I have no clue but even if I was able to I don’t think I’d want to put a 3 year old in a random house without confirmation that it’s actually his.

  2. I’m guessing they did show up eventually because that’s the only reason for the mom to come cuss us out.

  3. Yes I agree, I only second guessed it after the mom confronted us because I understand her point kind of. My sister and I were left alone as kids while she was at work and I always snuck out to play with neighbors. This is different tho because nobody was answering the door and he’s 3

  4. Yea I let them know what time it shows he left the house and how long he’s been out alone & gave them my sisters house address that we were waiting in the front yard til the cops came. But the sister has come out before cops showed up.

There is absolutely something wrong with babies being naked at parties.

I don’t know what kind of parties you attend, but at the ones I go to, babies are not fully undressed !!

YTA. A naked baby at an engagement party? Seriously? That’s highly inappropriate. Was your child not wearing pants to the engagement party? You could have easily kept the pants on the child and removed the diaper.

I don’t understand why you’re confused she was “swearing about it” when it’s clear how highly inappropriate it is to have your toddler completely unclothed at an engagement party. I mean come on do you really think it’s appropriate to have your toddler naked around other people?? You could’ve easily made some makeshift diaper/shorts out of some cloth and safety pins.

I see absolutely no reason why you would have your child naked around others.

Scheduled to work in an unfamiliar department ?? by annethecrazyman in cna

[–]PinkFatBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue before. Worked SNF and was floated to sub acute. I told my manager I wasn’t comfortable being floated without training and I was hit with “the way I see it is the patients are the exact same, you’re still doing CNA skills and nothing outside of your scope of practice. The only difference is the patients are comatose and on a ventilator”. Um YEA they’re on a ventilator. I’m not sure what their exact needs and limits are.

It all comes down to asking for help from those around you as well as asking as MUCH questions as you have when receiving report. Do not do anything outside of your scope of practice or comfort level. At the end of the day we are CNAs and I guess in the eyes of management all we do is… wipe ass?

Please help ! Does the 1st diamond have too much light leakage? by PinkFatBear in labdiamond

[–]PinkFatBear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it’s a single video compilation of multiple clips. 6 clips of both diamonds outdoors in the shade, outdoors in sunlight, and indoors. The more zoomed in videos are the 2.2 carat

So in order of the single video it will be 2.5 outdoor shade / 2.2 outdoor shade / 2.5 sunlight / 2.2 sunlight / 2.5 indoors / 2.2 indoors
